The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.

Oksana_A [137]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Jia observes that adding a solution of sodium hydroxide to a clear liquid turns the liquid pink. She makes a hypothesis about why the liquid changed color.

Which characteristic is least important for her hypothesis to have?

A)ability to be tested

B)based on the opinion of her classmates

C)ability to be proven incorrect

D)based on her current knowledge

Answer:

B)based on the opinion of her classmates

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a supposition or tentative explanation put forward based on minimal evidence. It sometimes sets the pace for further investigation.

Hypothesis is always based on empirical observation and not on popular opinion, hence the opinion of Jia's classmates is least important in Jia's formulation of a hypothesis.

___CH4 + ___O2 → ___CO2 + ___H2O When you burn natural gas in the laboratory, methane burns. What numbers fill in the blanks to
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The coefficient are 1,2,1,2 ( option B is correct)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Methane = CH4

Burning methane = CH4 + O2

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

CH4(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g)

Step 3: Balancing the equation

CH4(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g)

On the left side we have 4x H (in CH4), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H, on both sides, we have to multiply H2O (on the right side by 2).

CH4(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

On the left side we have 2x O (in O2), on the right side we have 4x O (2x in CO2 and 2x in 2H2O). To balance the amount of O on both sides, we have to multiply O2 (on the left side by 2).

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

The coefficient are 1,2,1,2 ( option B is correct)

Indicate whether fluorine of bromine has larger value
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Bromine has larger ionic radius and atomic radius than fluorine.

Fluorine has larger ionisation energy and electronegativity than bromine.

<h3>What are halogen?</h3>

Halogen are those elements that are found in group 7 of the periodic table.

Fluorine is in period two of the periodic table, meaning that it contains electrons in only the first two energy levels at ground state. It has a higher ionization energy and electronegativity than bromine.
